+__Zenlish__ will be a Controlled Natural Language based on English.
+A [Controlled Natural Language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_natural_language)
+is a subset of a natural language -here English- limited to specific problem domains.
-The goal of this project is to implement a toolkit subset of the English language, called ... Zenlish.

### Design of Zenlish language
#### Minimalism
The name of the language is a combination of 'Zen' and 'English'.
It reflects a desire to make Zenlish a simple language:
- The focus is put on a simplified syntax,
- A limited lexicon. Priority on most commonly used words.
#### Expressiveness
-Zenlish should be rich enough to express ideas, facts in a fluid way (vs. contrived, artificial way). Litmus test: a Zenlish text should be easy to read to an English speaking person.
